## Neutron induced Swelling tutorials in ANSYS

Dear all,

I am gautama currently pursuing my M.Tech in Fast breeder reactor at IGCAR. The project is based on the fuel sub assembly bowing due to thermal, swelling gradients. Using a FEM software ANSYS i have modelled the Sub assembly, but i am not able to give swelling parameter in ANSYS. Anyone who knows it please help me. You can also send me a PM.

Is one modeling SS316L?

Usually, swelling is correlated with the lattice damage, or displacements per atom (dpa), which itself often correlated to fast fluence (which is spectrally dependent). There are also compositional, irradiation temperature and dose rate (and history) influences, so one has to be careful when applying models obtained from the literature.
 Thank you for your reply.Ya the material is SS316 LN. But i am still not clear how to input swelling in ANSYS??
